Guys..i'm out to buy a new 17 " flat monitor...i saw the samsung 17" 798 mb plus at my friend's place..but it seemed kind of blurry to me...sitting in front of it for around 1 hr gave me a mild headache..cud it be an isolated problem or have u faced something similar?? Also the colors didnt seem all tht crisp..
I dont want a constant migraine in my head when i'm sitting in front on my monitor almost 8-10 hrs a day..so pls suggest me a good monitor..
Is viewsonic a good alternative...?? ...I'm a lighting n compositing artist..so i need good n crisp color reproduction...so pls help me out..:)
 
Where are you located? I'm also on the lookout for one. Only crappy ones available these days. Viewsonic E72f+SB is still available in Bangalore. Don't know if it's better than Samsung 798mb. The DF series was pretty good but is dificult to get these days. LG E700sh is also out of stock.
I'm thinking about a 19 inch viewsonic g90f+. It's a shadow mask CRT but it meets my requirements(I require it to be ivory coloured also to match the rest of my system. Man it's a b**ch to assemble an ivory system these days. Anyone know of any good ivory speakers? My MX-5021's stand out like a mole on skin.).
 
i have a viewsonic E70fSB ... i compared it with the LG E700 when i bought it three years ago.

the image quality is much better . the only downer would be after sales support (which i havent needed till now :P )
 
I'd suggest the E70fSB over the 798MB too , as I've been doing in the last few threads ... although Vewsonic can't match Samsungs a.s.s
 
Greenhorn...wanna sell :)...just kidding. I guess you and xfactor have me leaning towards Viewsonic.

If they would just make one in ivory...oh...me thinks that me must give up this futile search for an ivory coloured picture box...after all....twas it not the desire of people to go in for a change in the long followed tradition of computer ancestry? To break the rules and thus emerge victorious and rebellious with a display that one might find uncommon. Is it not what we all hope to achieve in places other than the visual? Is it not what we are here for? To better our understanding of the unknown and un-overclocked and un-cooled and un-modded and the un-freaking-believable :).

Sorry...just had to rant a little.
 
What would be tentative prices for each...!!
coz even i am buildin a new PC..and confused wid which monitor to select..!!

What abt LG Flatron..??
 
I went to lamington n was told tht the E72 FSB is not available anymore..they have the better P76 f+b which belongs to the professional series..its available for 6.2k...200 bucks more than the sam 798mb plus..it doesnt look all tht jazzy like the 798mb but sure has better color performance..i think i'll go for it..:)
 
What colour is it? Someone had recommended it to me in an earlier thread along with the Acer AF715. Yepp, I guess you can go for it. I think the missing S from the P76f+B is the superclear technology which they have on the E72f+SB. Don't know if it makes a difference.

Nope buddy, the SB in E72f+SB simply stands for Silver Black..and the whole thing stands for Flat+Silver Black....the B in P76f+B stands for black..and the models without the B or SB simply means they are white..like the G90f+..it is white..
Also the P76F+B is a better product than the E72f+SB as P76F+B belongs to the professional series with crisp colors and sharp images because of its ultra fine dot pitch..It doesnt look too enticing but nevertheless is a much better product than the E series..:)
 
go for 798MB ... one of the best crt' i can suggest ... i'm using a 763MB myself .. and am so much satisfied .. MagicBright rockz ..

Cant second that..the 798mb plus seemed pretty average to me..:no: Saw the Viewsonic P76 f+B..the color quality is spot on..btw, if u go for viewsonic only get the G(graphic) or P(professional) series..the E series is no better than the samsung 798 mb plus..though i dont think it'll make a fashion statement if u wanna make a b**ch rig but for serious, no nonsense professional use, the P76f+B is a much better choice..

Btw, dipen have u checked with compuciti?? They do keep their stocks updated..atleast they used to a year or so back..dont know about now..:)
 
I checked wid Sujata , Baba , DCC , Poonam....All the Biggies in Pune...

Will check Compuciti....either ways.....I am plannin whole PC from Sujata..coz wen i insisted he agreed to get MSI Neo from smwhere...Dunno frm where...but he'll get it...

And also... he has stock of XFX 7900GS... So lets c,the problem is am runnin low on budget....so ill have to squeeze things...
 
sure...though i am not very good at it, stil wil try my best,
itl tk couple of days as my mobo is expectd by tuesday ;)
 
my viewsonic is a black body with a silver bezel. but a viewsonic i bought for a friend was silver completely, and the shape of the monitor was different, cos the bezel had rounded edges.

is your E70fSB like mine? (check my rig gallery)
